In recent days, we have come to understand that Npower Abuja had picked some volunteers, via the state focal persons, to be the ambassadors of N-Power, in other words, the image markers of N-Power. However, the overzealous selected volunteers chose to use the opportunity to constitute themselves as the executive body of all volunteers in the Federation and impose themselves on us as the sole representatives of volunteers all over the nation. Let us put the record straight that the so
called pseudo Excos are working for the pockets of their sponsors who intend to use them to gain dirty profits and to have some puppets volunteers to execute their evil services. They have been parading themselves as the authentic body of N-Power volunteers nationwide. They have been openly claiming that they were installed by the Team N-Power of the office of the Vice President. The pseudo group claims to have held several meetings with Team N-Power Abuja which they claim were well coordinated by Mr AFOLABI whose sole service is to assure the full and successful implementation of N-Power scheme nationwide and not to pose as a godfather of volunteers nationwide union.
To put the record straight, anybody working in the office of Vice President should not drag the sparkling image of the presidency in the stinky mud of unproductive politics as they, Buhari and Osinbajo, thought of ways to empower angry and hungry unemployed youths regardless the socioeconomic background, the socioethnic background and the sociopolitical background. These noble men have chosen the paths of greatness to stay clear to the rubbish and ungodly politics that have had a painful corrosive impact in our individual and collective growth. The presidency had never, even once, hinted that they would be playing politics with the yearning of the youths who have been for long denied their birth right that the leading and old generation had freely enjoyed during their younger days.
It is on this note that we call on the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to give a marching order to his close allies who are wrongly getting twisted with this npower stuff. It is true that this will remain for long in our collective memory as one of the greatest achievements of this administration. It is also true that during general elections, people will acknowledge it. However, the sanctity of the scheme must be protected by laying emphasis that every Nigerian youth matters. Political interests should not be traded at the expense of the pains and neglect of the youths. Npower scheme should not be another strategic platform to corrupt the mind set of another generation of leaders in selfish and ungodly secretive governance.
We believe that state focal persons all over the nation should be more democratic in their approach of dealing with N-Power related issues in their various constituencies, specially when it comes to organisation and leadership among the volunteers. It is none of their business to make the scheme an extention of their political terrains which have been anti-masses. Today, ghost and unknown political gladiators are at their games again, trying to control the participants of this scheme after they have woefully failed in replacing the names of authentic participants with the ones of their siblings and close allies. Leave us alone! If really any official wants to help, they should follow our template of selection of leadership. The so called coward ambassadors, those ones lobbying secretly for endorsement to represent, they are simply on their own. These people that cannot lead their PPAs volunteers but seek backdoor selection. We are sorry for them. This is the reason why we call on every volunteers to know the usurper code named "N-Power ambassadors". The worst thing is that our official have always given recognition to illegality and lack of legitimacy. They only think of theirs not the real people involved.
Volunteers! Are you so incapacitated for some people to decide for us what is best? This is the concoction of national body they cooked for you. They say, you have no say on it as if it part of N-Power contract for them to choose for us our national union leaders. It is funny to see that after appointing their focal people, they still want to use the same manner to misrepresent us. This is the full list of pseudo excos in circulation:

What dubious intention is it to secretly hand pick volunteers who have never been in the vanguards our challenges.
Again, they openly play the cards of connexion in selecting nationwide volunteers union leadership. Some still believe that they can just use the influence of the office of the vice president to impose on us their style of leadership. The so called ambassadors continue to parade themselves, using the upper hands of some influencial figures in the realm of government to facilitate the release of dubious funds from the presidency for dubious reasons and for dubious projects in the name of the unaware volunteers in the N-Power scheme. This act of skipping the systematic process of moulding true leaders, is simply aimed at promoting mediocrity at the highest places. By the way;
1. Must government dictate to the graduate youth the way to go with their leadership?
2. Are we volunteers psychological crippled to know not to form our leadership?
3. Does it potend that political manipulations have now taken place in the implementation of N-Power scheme?
4. Do Npower officials trying to derail the beautiful project of N-Power scheme for the division and mistrust among the volunteers nationwide?
5. Do you want us to be skeptical about each other when we all know that N-Power scheme is primarily intended to foster unity and hard work?
It is at this juncture that I call on the great minds of our youths. It is here I resonate the bells of consciousness of the ever energised Nigerian youths. We cannot allow them to choose for our union leadership.
The following the template will get us to the national body. This action must be taken without wasting time as to remain united and strong in the face of the above usurpers who so believe in the era of godfatherism. The entire volunteers will choose the members of our national body not a man sitting in an office.
1. Volunteers of each local government including Abuja should organise Congresses to constitute local government executive body.
2. All local government executive bodies of each state should call for state convention with 10 screened delegate per local government to elect state executive bodies with in mind the full representation of each local government to have strong and effective followers.
3. All state executive bodies should go for regional congresses with delegates not more than 10 volunteers per state to take part in the elections of regional executive bodies.
4. All regional executive bodies will have to elect a national body through federal convention of the six geopolitical representations.
When this is put in place, nobody will defeat us. A warning message to those parading themselves to desist from misrepresentation. This is an usurpation of the highest order which we call on Nigerian police to arrest those parading themselves as Excos of volunteers nationwide in order to prevent any form of crisis.
Volunteers of all over the federation! Unite! Constitute yourselves!
